I think it's Beyonce, but who cares?
Oldsport's actually an insurance investigator for an ambulance chasing group in the tidewater area. I'm not supposed to know that.
The thing that gets me is that we haven't won a game in forever. What do you really need to make up in order to back up a negative opinion? You actually have to make up stuff to have a positive one, kinda like how Hayes used to tell recruits "you see that patch of dirt? It's the field house. You have to have vision to play here." Hayes would've never got my @ss, cause my response would've been "_igga, that's dirt."
I admire guys that can put a positive spin on our current situation. Mane, I just can't do it. But in my opinion we're only an experienced o.c. and a solid offensive and defensive line (and a little more experience for our coaches) at being back to the glory days of 8-3.

create their own personal version of the "truth." LOL. Thats funny. I've seen 4X Aggie correct stuff from alot of you. This may end up being the only message board in the country where ONLY the truth is posted. This is a message board guys. Fans speculate. They run off at the mouth. They have big dreams and hopes for what they want their favorite team to accomplish. They post grand visions of what they think their team has recruited and signed and back track when it doesnt pan out. That's what fans do. Nobody is physically and emotionally shattered when someone mistated something on here. If I was, I would have died a broken man a long time ago. Welcome to the internet folks. Even the best opinions can be wayyyyyy off. Right?? LOL.

Like Dooms stated earlier, it doesn't take a lot of effort to say "I heard this rumor ..." or "Its my understanding that..." or "This is what I thnk..."
Acting as if you have inside information on something and trying to make readers believe things that are straight up lies is a different matter altogether. That is just someone trying to cause confusion.

Hmmmmm, Freeze brings up a good pernt.
I mean, it's your board but is it better to outright ban somebody for posting something or just prove them wrong, repeatedly. It pretty much strengthens the argument for the oppostion if somebody's proven wrong enough times.
We might not like what some people have to say on here but do we have to police it to the point we don't allow them to type it at all? Or do we let them know how we feel.
Here we are, only two days after Independence Day/TOPPDOGG's fake birthday and we're talking about denying freedom of speech to somebody because people think he's an a$$hole. We are family. If there be one of you that has a family member that isn't an a$$hole I ask you to raise your hand.
Seeing none, I continue. This clearly isn't up for a vote, but I think it works just as well, or even better to let an incorrect statement be proven incorrect.
We do a lot of debating on this site. Feelings get caught, we all make up and look at Beyonce's pic in her Freakum Dress at the end of the day. I've noticed personally no matter how strongly I feel about a particular subject, through the debating I gain new insight or opinions on the other side of the table. I truly appreciate that dialog. Where the hell else am I going to have the opportunity to debate A&T with other people who care for it as much as I do, without a beer in my hand?
I have just as loudly attacked those who would tell us to cut a debate time and again because if you don't like it, you can go to a different thread.
So BDF, what say ye? Xanderdaddy, what say ye? I am certain at some point I have crossed the line and stated something as fact that was later proven false. Actually, I doubt it, but you never know. That's the risk you run when you post everyday and you post long as hell. What will happen the day a beloved poster posts something that is later proven untrue? Will we call for his head?
What say ye? Do it for the boy, xanderdaddy. Let my Godson know freedom. Don't force him to bite his newly-formed tongue simply because it spits untruths. No, let us bite it. Yea, is this not America? This is not China. This is not the place where they took down the wall. Is we Taliban or is we Aggiefan?

One of the cool things about being someone who "walks the walk way more than they talk the talk" is that when you launch your own website you are allowed to make the rules.
Trust me: I've only banned one person in the history of this board and that's because he was relaying sensitive conversations that were made in our private forum. There have been numerous other times when I've been tempted to ban posters but I've alway held back.
The great thing about this site is that its a place where you can come and engage in various conversations about A&T football and the athletic department/university in general.
The only things I have demanded from day one is that no posters use profanity or obscene language on the board and that all people who are granted access into the private forum show complete loyality to the BDF. That's about it.
Yesterday on July 6, 2007 I said that if anyone posted something as a fact and it turned out to be untrue you would get banned for life. That's what I wrote and thats what I meant.
That's why it was called zero tolerance Thursday.
The good news is nobody here received that ban because no one posted any more lies yesterday.

Wait. So if I'm reading correctly, that was just for yesterday?
If that's the case, Jill Scott left Lyzel for me but I told her she was too late.

You got something against Freakum dresses? Only if you are wearing it, man.
